It is targeted at humanitarians and land professionals, as well as government officials, and brings together emergency relief and early recovery perspectives. The information provided could be useful to anyone directly working to support rapid yet sustainable recovery of human settlements following a natural disaster. The Guidelines were produced through a partnership between UN-HABITAT, the Global Land Tool Network (GLTN), FAO and the Early Recovery Cluster.--Publisher description.
